"Yo! It's a three-pointer! I'm in really good shape today!"
In the cctv5 studio, director Zhang Weiping said happily in the commentary box.
Yu Jia also echoed: "It seems that Chen Yan has continued the state of the last game. Let's see how Kobe Bryant responds to the Lakers."
As soon as he finished speaking, Kobe used Garnett's screen to hit a signature mid-range shot.
Easy and freehand~
After scoring the goal, Kobe quickly retreated. Kobe would not give Chen Yan another chance to score easily in the fast break.
Seeing that there were no good fast break opportunities, Nash slowed down and fell back.
Entering the positional battle, the Lakers' advantage was reflected.
Although this Lakers have Kobe and Garnett on the offensive end, what they are really proud of is their defense.
If you look at the league's top internal and external defense pairing like Garnett and Kobe, you can't find another pair.
Although the team's defensive center Kwame Brown is a typical player who can't stand up to the wall, with no low-post skills, poor free throws and often poor hands, he has some defensive skills. The only reason why Jackson started him is because of his low-post defense.
good.
Nash held the ball at the top of the arc, and this time it was Chen Yan who was covering him.
"This is a direct pick-and-roll cooperation between the shooting guard and the point guard, which is not common in the NBA."
In the TNT studio, Buckley said.
Today's high-profile Christmas battle will naturally be broadcast live across the United States.
Kenny Smith didn't know where to pull out a table at this time: "According to the data, Chen and Steve are the duo with the greatest offensive threat in the Suns. Their scoring efficiency after working together has surpassed Steve.
Husband and Amare.”
Barkley nodded in agreement, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with the duo with the greatest offensive threat playing a pick-and-roll.
"boom!"
Fisher directly hit Chen Yan's chest during the horizontal movement.
Chen Yan felt a tight pain in his chest. Fisher's physical strength was unmatched. He was a tank at the point guard and had such a muscular body that even James couldn't get an advantage against him.
On the court, Nash used Chen Yan's screen to move inside, and Kobe switched defense in front of Nash.
Nash looked back and handed the ball to Chen Yan, creating an obvious dislocation on the court.
Although Fisher has full strength points, his agility and speed are very poor. He is most afraid of facing off against a speedy defender like Chen Yan.
But the most heartbreaking thing is that Chen Yan didn't use his speed to beat Fisher this round.
After Chen Yan dropped the ball, he moved the ball from his left hand to his right hand.
It was this action that directly shook Fisher's center of gravity.
Take a step forward and hit easily from mid-range without being marked.
"Whoa!"
Chen Yan doesn't need to warm up his hand, he is in excellent condition as soon as he comes up!
5 to 4.
D'Antoni on the sidelines also applauded with the fans. The appearance of Chen Yan made the Suns no longer afraid of positional warfare attacks.
Lakers offensive possession.
The man named Kobe is here again!
Kobe's average this season has dropped from 31.5 points last season to 27.1 points this season due to the addition of Garnett, but he is full of desire to attack tonight!
It can be understood as his desire to express himself in the Christmas War, and it can also be understood that he is revenge against Chen Yan in his own way.
After all, in the last confrontation between the two sides, Chen Yan scored 50 points on Kobe Bryant. Throughout Kobe's entire career, few people could do this in front of him, let alone a fledgling rookie.
Kobe relied on Laga Bell to attack inside. Seeing Kobe's posture, Stoudemire and Diaw directly let go of the defensive players and surrounded him in the penalty area!
With three people double-teaming, Kobe said he could pass the ball, but it wasn't necessary.
He took off into the air, completed a gliding flight between the three of them, and finally pulled the lever to the limit before landing to score the ball!
After the goal, Kobe did not celebrate. Instead, he complained to the referee while running back to the defensive half. What he meant was that the Suns' defense fouled and the ball should have been a 21.
The referee ignored it. This is the Suns' home court and they should enjoy some home court advantage.
The Lakers retreated extremely quickly in these two rounds. They knew that if they wanted to limit the Suns' firepower, they had to limit the Suns' speed.
The Sun was forced to enter a positional battle again.
In the past few seasons, their handling of positional battles was very casual. They almost always shot directly after the pick-and-roll or distributed it to shooters who were ambushing from the outside.
The arrival of Chen Yan has optimized the team's offensive options in positional battles. Chen Yan's presence can open up offensive space for teammates and can disrupt the opponent's defense without the ball. Of course, the most important point is that his singles in positional battles are simply amazing.
It’s a powerful weapon!
Nash handed the ball to Chen Yan at a 45-degree angle to the left of the three-point line.
Chen Yan raised his right fist high to indicate that he was going to fight in a singles.
Under Kobe's continuous attacks, Chen Yan's desire to attack also increased.
Facing Kobe Bryant's defense, Chen Yan hit him continuously.
Kobe didn't rush or falter, he just followed Chen Yan, his steps were very solid.
After dribbling continuously, Chen Yan made a crossover and broke through along the baseline from the left!
The Lakers' defense was well prepared, with Kwame Brown, Walton and Garnett quickly shrinking.
The inner lane was too crowded, so Chen Yan braked suddenly and pulled out.
Just when everyone thought Chen Yan was going to choose his offensive route again, he suddenly turned around!
Accelerate twice and slide to the bottom line again!
Kobe was cheated!
However, Kobe Bryant, as a perimeter defender who has been selected to the first team many times, is very experienced. He reacted immediately and followed behind Chen Yan.
Sometimes being out of position does not mean that you cannot defend. As long as your teammates make up for it in time, you can still cause interference or even block shots behind you! With this idea in mind, Kobe followed Chen Yan.
Chi Guoguo followed! The Lakers' inside players once again chose to shrink. Against the defense of the four people in front and behind, Chen Yan took off on one foot, dodged and moved, and the lieutenant general scored the ball in a reverse layup!
Chen Yan returned the favor to Kobe Bryant with a super drawbar!
The lever range is even larger and the gliding distance is even longer!
There was a frenzy of screaming at the scene, the ball was so visually impactful!
Domestic fans were also very excited. They paid attention to this Christmas game just to see Chen Yan and Kobe Bryant competing against each other. Unexpectedly, the two men satisfied the fans as soon as the game started.
"What a ridiculous goal!"
"Three people on one side will double-team the wide open space, and four people will double-team the wide open space on the other side?"
